Doerun, GA

Set in the quiet farm country of northwest Colquitt County, Doerun traces its roots back to the late 1800s when the railroad first arrived. The town originally earned its name from early hunters who often watched deer crossing a nearby stream. As cotton gins, warehouses, and family businesses sprang up around the tracks, Doerun established itself as a steady agricultural hub with a friendly, small-town atmosphere.
